finished and just beginning...

I made a bear to sit atop this new pin cushion ball I posted about a few days ago and while this piece is complete it's lead me to an new project...

Over the last few months, I've been thinking more and more about making some of my patterns available. I feel like there should be big swelling music behind that sentence. I wish I knew how to do that in Blogger- but since that feature doesn't exist you'll have to play some in your head. Something with horns! Anyway I've been asked for years if I'd sell any of my patterns and I think I'm finally there. I'm teaching a bunny workshop for the Creative Connection and I recently made the pattern and instructions and sent them off to everyone in the workshop. It was harder than I thought in some ways- but I think I've ironed out the kinks and I'm ready to work on a couple more. So first will be a couple pin cushion variations and then bears?! maybe. I hope I can get the first all finished and up in my etsy shop within the next month.

  1. Hi Jennifer,
    I think that is cool. I had to cancel my trip to the Creative Connection for personal reasons and will miss taking your class.
    It would be fun to do on my own.
    The best to you,
    Smiles, Andra
